Mid-Winter's Revel - A Journey Along the Silk Road
January 25, 2014
Barony of Lochmere
 
Heed the call of the marketplace! The sweet smells of spice and incense,
cinnamon and turmeric mingling with frankincense and myrrh. Scarlet, saffron
and indigo fabrics surrounded by copper and brass. The music of the q?n?n,
oud, sheng, and koto fills the air...Join us in a Journey along the Silk Road
from Kyushu to Samarkand to Constantinople. Spend a day filled with music,
dancing, feasting and classes. Lochmere's Mid Winter Revel heads east to
bring you the vibrant and exciting Journey along the Silk Road. With twice
the space we normally use, we are expanding our event to encompass and
celebrate the diversity of the Silk Road.  We have space for dancers,
musicians and merchants as well as classes and games.
